If you have port in difficulties with GV number call 800-518-7519 and them you have a land line and they will complete your port.
GV port is not complete until you get a confirmation email from google, and you get a text message from Metro 611 that the number transfer is complete.

The short version, you must call Metro to make sure any/all the number(s) you are porting over that previously succeed Port Reservation but failed Payment are not locked now to metro reservation once locked to metro they will not work with a new order or another wireless company. This deal is killing me softly, now I remember why I avoided Metro for so long
EDIT: after reading the comments on this thread, I see that many people are reporting that a google voice number can be ported over to metro again (like the good old days).

Just tried porting out google voice number. Wasted $3
2 hours later, it worked. I used the zip code that matches up with the area code.
So I don't know if the delay was needed, or the matching zip code, or both....?

After a month of service, can this phone be sold/given to another Metro user to use with their sim/esim?
Can this be used by another metro user if you don't activate the phone when received. for example. new in box.
You could also use your new Metro phone number and link it to make a new GV number

Perhaps the person you want to give the phone to wants to use a Metro plan other than the BYOD plan so the restriction may not matter to the other person.
